Papers of Walter B. Cockerill, a Seventh Day Baptist missionary in Nyasaland (now Malawi), British Central Africa in 1914-1915 during the period of the Chilembwe Uprising, led by African Reverend John Chilembwe. The collection consists primarily of letters along with related papers, publications, and one photograph. The letters from 1911 to 1915, are from African preachers to Australian missionary Joseph Booth, as well as a small group of letters from Cockerill to his family describing his work, local conditions, and analysis and observations of the rebellion. The bulk of the correspondence from 1952 to 1958, is between Cockerill and historian George Shepperson, who used Cockerill's documents and recollections to write a history of the uprising.
